Here - I haven't actually read this one - I get a notification when it is released and occasionally
use it to source information, but I thought it might be of interest to some people here.
for the non-aviation types out there - ETOPS stands for Extended Twin engine OPerationS, or ExTended OPerationS - now also known as EDTO - Extended

It is a set of operating rules that governs how far twin engined aircraft are allowed to be from airports & the
Wiki article is a pretty good sumamry I think.
